The Bedales side chair

The Bedales chair, named after Bedales School, was designed by Ernest Gimson in 1906. Constructed from locally sourced greenwood, assembled using mortise and tenon joinery, the Bedales chair features a uniform three slat ladder-back design with turned and steam bent legs – a final design unique to our chairs. Complete with a woven rush seat.
